It is great to live with such momentum that work, plans, ideals, purposes carry on. tho the worker has gone to his long rest. We make no mistake in speaking of his geniality. It was rich. It was genuine. He lifted people up, as he met them on the way, and carried them along with him. Of course Dr. Tressler was gifted. His mind was not the ordinary make. He pierced his subject through, dashed on to the end. grasped the whole thought, and as teacher placed the living, pointed truth in the minds of his students. But the greatness of a man is not to be measured by his gifts. It is only as those gifts are given away, that life becomes large. Dr. Tressler gave his gifts to the Church in splendid service and to Hamma Divinity School, in which for eighteen years he was a forceful teacher, and of which at the time of his death he was the honored and far-visioned Dean. 1924 WITTENBERGER THE YEAR BOOK Of- MTTEtlBERG COLLBOr p ibli-rKed by tke CLAJA OF- 1925 ypRinontLD OHIO areaare |— O Professor John Philip Schneider, A.

N THE EARLY ’90s quite a stir was made at Wittenberg by the ar- rival at the Dorm of the son of a distinguished artist. The rumor grew apace that he not only inherited his father’s gift as a painter but was also an expert performer upon the flute. As time went on and curiosity and expectation had reached their height this talented young man was announced as flute soloist at a concert to be given at the First Lutheran Church. The church was packed for the occasion and the audience sat breathless when the artist in faultless evening dress, not then so common in Springfield, came forward to make his bow and professionally toyed with the keys of his instrument while the prelude to his solo was being played upon the piano. The silence of the audience became more and more intense as the in- troduction neared its end and all expected to be held by the spell of the first liquid birdlike tone of the flute. But in the awful stillness only a breathy p pfi was heard. The artist glared at his fine accompanist as though she had been at fault. Silence if possible grew more silent as the prelude was repeated. Again only p —pfi-—came forth. Then, blushing crimson, the artist addressed the audience as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen, you will really have to excuse me this evening. My mouth is entirely devoid of spit. Probably no audience ever enjoyed a flute solo so much. The artist has since made good as a painter and is at the present time one of the foremost baritones of America, but we have never heard of his making another public appearance as a flutist. The first home of Wittenberg College was the east portion of the present Myers Hall. Here the students lived and had all their activities. Here they recited to some very capable men. In that day the professors needed to be versatile, there were so few of them and so many subjects to cover. I here was Professor Geiger, father of the first Wittenberg co-ed, who taught mathematics and the natural sciences. It was said that he was one of the best mathematicians in the state. His official survey of the Blue Ridge mountains for the government was the first authentic one to determine the period of their formation. Later, in company with John W. Bookwalter he did some surveying of volcanic craters in Hawaii. I hen there was Doctor Sprecher. that mental giant whom we in our im- aginations endow with a powerful physique, but who was in reality very slight of stature, but of venerable appearance. It can be said that he was one of the greatest men Wittenberg has had. The students once thought that the anniversary of the receipt of the Stroud bequest should be observed as a holiday. The faculty thought otherwise and school was announced to go on as usual. In the morning the Recitation Hall was crowded with students eager for something to happen. Who was to lead the rebellion? Out he stepped. The students fell behind him one by one. The procession moved out of the building around Recitation Hall and back again. The cry was ‘Holiday! We want a holiday!” Students' sense of propriety was outraged. When a man gives money to the college should there not be a cele- bration? But there was no holiday. Defeated, the students went to their classes as on other days. I he valiant leader of the rebellious host was R. E. T., destined to be within thirteen years the President of the College. As George Ade might say: MORAL—Whatever you may be, your esteemed Professors were more so at the same Period of Evolution from the Wiggle-Tail to the Frog. Doctor Ort was a large man—big physically—over six feet tall and well moulded in proportion to his height. His mental calibre matched his giant frame and bigger than these was the Christian spirit of the man. Twice )v,T President of the College and in his student days proctor in the dormitory, he had an almost inexhaustible supply of anecdotes which he told in a dry, droll fashion. One of Doctor Ort’s favorite stories was the one about the wagon. He was then proctor. This was in the days when the Dorm was lighted by means of lanterns hung in the halls each evening at dusk. There was a student who drove a big farm wagon laden with supplies from his home in Darke County. The boys took a fancy to this wagon, so they took it apart and carried it up the front steps to the second floor. When they entered the building, quiet was necessary in order not to disturb Doctor Ort. So there in the darkened hall they pulled otf their boots. One man had trouble removing his. so he whispered to another who was standing near, to hold him while he removed them. The other complied in silence and the next morning it was discovered that Doctor Ort had held the student while he removed his boots. A little accident occurred late in the career of Doctor Ort which was quite characteristic of his style of humor. He was called out of his seminary class for a long-distance call. One member of the class whom we shall call Mr. Johnson, by way of relieving a probable long wait of tedium, went to the front of the room and imitating Doctor Ort’s peculiarly heavy speech, notified the class that they would now have some gymnastic exercises. He opened all the win- dows and going back to the Professor’s place, started the exercises by standing on his head on the desk. Doctor Ort came back sooner than was anticipated and found Mr. Johnson in this inverted position. Doctor Ort. folding his arms and regarding Mr. Johnson for a moment in silence, remarked. Well. Mr. Johnson, are you getting top heavy? All persons in the early days were assessed a poll tax of two dollars road repair, or were required to assist in the work on the highways. Wittenberg Avenue was then a private drive leading to the creek and the supervisor gra- ciously granted to the students permission to cancel their obligation by repair- ing the roadway. In the early history of the college, the campus extended south to the present Cliff Park. The physical side of college activities in the early days occupied a different position and performed a widely different function from the present day ath- letics. One could scarcely call their student recreation as athletics. In the morning before classes a walk was taken until the hour for the first recitation at nine. After classes at four in the afternoon, the entire school was privileged to participate in football. There were no co-eds in school at that time. During the C ivil War the students, who numbered one hundred and sixty at that time, responded so valiantly and served so satisfactorily as to win the commendation of the Government. Some answered Lincoln’s first call for men for three months of service, while others served from one to three years. Five men made up the Faculty during the period of the War. Doctor Sprecher was President; Doctor Geiger was in charge of mathematics and sciences; Professor Diehl taught the ancient languages: Professor Isaac Sprecher, principal of the Academy, and Mr. George Sprecher who gave Doctor Prince his first lessons in Latin, made up the number. The college grounds extended south to the cliffs of what is now Cliff Park. There were only a few houses north of the creek and the campus was fenced in because the townspeople pastured their cattle along the creek and they were always alert to the possibility of one of the gates being open. Gone are the days when I teas young and gay. Gone arc the friends who arc now so far away. Gone arc the landmarks of my college day. hear the newer voices calling. Pay your bills. The Girls’ Gab Room of the Nineties is a thing of the past. The giggling and gabbling that issued from behind the first door to one’s left upon entering Recitation Hall is silenced forever. The click of the typewriter has taken its place. In the days before the regime of Proxy Tulloss this room was the femi- nine stronghold and whatever feminist movements arose at Wittenberg were hatched most likely here within what is now The College Office. An old grad would be lost and I doubt not would hesitate to enter for the first time what in his college days was forbidden ground. The inscriptions adorning the walls have likewise vanished under some coats of nice clean paint. And where is the carpet that was always in tatters? To be sure, there might be seen a whole carpet in all its splendor each year when college opened, but a week two weeks and every girl in college learned to step lightly and warily on those spots which were the pathway to the cloakroom, for to the knowledge of those who trod over that carpet, there never was a carpet which could stand the wear and tear of that room’s use. Dancing? Well, it was forbidden and it is not for those who now have sons and daughters under the rules of this Wittenberg College to tell how we outwitted Prcxy Ort, or if we ce. The carpet wore out. so that's that. The old if underneath the click-clack of the typewriter, t a murmur of the fun of the days that arc gone; with the murmur, there arises above it once in a the lilt of See-Saw” and Come to Me. Sweet e.” Well, perhaps that is just because those were best sellers in the popular music line in those days, nd the old Girls’ Gab Room served for many years as the place where Euterpia held forth in debate, essay and recitation and here it was that the grandmother of “The Witt” held spellbound those who attended Euterpia. The Budget’ was a great little paper and scintillated with all the spice and wit then abroad at Witten- berg. The writer can well remember the measley Budget issued at a time when measles were rampant among the Ferncliff Hall tribe and with cover most luridly representing the epidemic. Where now Prexy Tulloss reigns supreme and where Dean Martin guides the wayward toward their duty was once the recitation room of Prexy Ort where Juniors and Seniors assembled to recite perhaps, and to listen to Doctor Ort always, for the Doctor’s eloquence and oratory were irresistible, and whether the undergrad understood the substance of the philosophy expounded by the Doctor or not. he was always held spellbound by the doctor’s exposition of the lesson. Now the room is divided in two and the powers that be. decide the destiny of a student and the policy and good of the college there. Even though the old grad has the advantage in years over both Prexy I ulloss and Dean Martin, still I can fancy that there might be a slight weakness in his knees when first he returns and visits the room where he was on the carpet for some misdemeanor in days gone by. The first Wittenberg Glee Club was organized by Professor Hiller. He also originated the college, colors, cardinal and cream. The Alma Mater song is of his composition. In the extreme northwest corner of the campus, that corner bounded by Plum and Cecil Streets, was once a cemetery. There several people of the im- mediate community were buried, but the bodies were afterward removed to other burial places. Fifty years ago, a student on entering college was rushed as earnestly and as fervently for the literary societies as today the student is rushed by the fra- ternities. It was about that time that the men students had two boarding clubs, namely the Saints and Sinners. These clubs were conducted by the students who took turns in acting as steward. C ooks were hired from the outside. The fare was simple but nourishing. Meat was served once a day, butter not at all (at least not by the Saints). Board for the Sinners sometimes cost two dollars and fifty cents a week. I he Saints paid from one dollar and seventy-five cents to two dollars, varying with the food and management. Sam Keller, Professor of Mathematics, always looked at his thermometer as he entered the class- room. If the mercury hung low, he dismissed his class without parley. The thermometer was sufficient authority. One morning as he came into class he consulted the thermometer and found it hovering near the freezing point. The weather was mild outside but classrooms are cold places sometimes even in mild weather so the class was not detained for a recitation. After they left, the mercury ascended again to the normal position in which the students had found it before they packed it in ice. A tardy rule was in force thirty years ago and more. In order to maintain it. Sam Keller. Professor of Mathematics, locked his door after the bell had rung. One day the late comer was Sam Shaffer ’94. who, when he found the door locked, took time to push under the door one of his calling cards. Pro- fessor K. appreciated the joke, took the card but did not open the door. A day or so later one of the Lipe brothers tried the same thing. This time, how- ever, the strong arm of Professor K. reached out and grabbed the late one by the collar, pulled him into the room with a yell that could have been heard at the old Dorm, lake your seat.” I hat particular tardy rule went the way of others. No better actor ever attended the college than W . Once upon a time Brother W. was called upon to appear before President Heckert for some more or less serious infraction of the rules. Doctor H. proceeded to give W. the drub- bing he deserved. W. took his punishment humbly and promised to remember and to observe all rules of the college. Not long after this Doctor H. was invited to attend a Dorm party. Among the stunts was one arrayed and carried on by W. The scene was Doctor H.’s office with a student upon the carpet for breaking the same rule W. had been arraigned for. The part of Doctor H. was taken by W., and Doctor H. had the pleasure of seeing himself impersonated admirably and of hearing a precise recounting of every word said at the meeting when he had acted as judge. At least one man in the audience enjoyed the show and that, of course, was Doctor Heckert. For many years, it has been the custom to plant an oak on the campus at commencement. One year the young man. who was appointed to procure the honored tree, experienced some difficulty in obtaining one to suit his rather discriminating taste. Finally he went down to Clifton on his bicycle, hoping there to find a tree worthy of the distinction which his class would naturally give it. He returned triumphant with his little tree. At commencement it was planted with fitting ceremony. Time passed and the tiny tree grew, but such is the perversity of Fate sometimes this tree grew, but not into a sturdy oak it had started scrub ash. and scrub ash it remained. The field house on the old football field was for many years the gymnasium and stood along the extreme western boundary of the campus, between Recitation Hall and the Library. Did you ever attend a dance or a keg party in the old gym? Some students did. faculty %e WITTENBERGER. -? DR. RISES EDGAR Ti l.LOSS. A. B.. A. M.. B. D . Ph. D.. D. D.. L. L. D. President of tl c College Recent Educational Advances at Wittenberg SUCCESSFUL enterprise of any kind needs to have many sides to its development. The economic world of today realizes that it must pay strict attention to many seemingly contradictory things in order to be successful. The church has come to the conclusion that it cannot perform to the best of its ability the task that it was established to accomplish without extending its sphere of activities wider than ever 1 his tendency toward all-around development has manifested itself in edu- cational circles, especially emphasizing the mission of the colleges and the uni- versities in the world today. Fifty years ago. every influence in the college was toward the scholastic side and students were expected to apply themselves to their studies with diligence. Wittenberg’s athletes, debaters and orators have gained an enviable reputa- tion throughout the state. The college publications have attained and are maintaining a high state of excellence. And rapidly Wittenberg is becoming known as a college of intensive and able scholars, one whose graduates are of a calibre equal to that of any college’s alumni in the country. Paste Twenty-six %• wn'TENBER.GF.R- In keeping up educationally with other colleges and universities in the coun- try, many advances have been made during the past year at Wittenberg. Men- tion of these will, however, be limited to only a few. Perhaps the new credit point system has aroused more favorable comment among those interested in the welfare of the college than any other recent edu- cational improvements. Under the regulations of this plan, the numerical equivalents of the letters used in grading have been rearranged and in addition, quality points were assigned for each letter, ranging from A. four points, to one point for a grade of D. To be qualified as a sophomore, for example, one must have secured at least twenty semester hours and forty quality points. Qualifications for juniors and seniors are likewise defined. In addition, any student who fails during any sem- ester to earn quality points equal to at least one and one quarter times the number of credit hours of courses elected for the semester shall be put upon probation for the succeeding semester of his residence at college, with a lessened amount of work. During the semester of probation if he fails to earn quality points at least equal to one and one quarter times the number of credit hours assigned to him for the semester, he will automatically be denied the privilege of attending college during the ensuing semester. Looking forward, perhaps, to the introduction of the four quarter system at Wittenberg in the future, the semester course plan has been worked out by the college faculty. Nineteen Twenty-Four-Five courses which formerly were scheduled to recite one hour or two hours a week, respectively, for two semesters, will hereafter be held two or four hours a week, respectively for one semester. Some courses which meet three times a week under the present system may be changed to meet five hours a week for one semester but for the most part, such courses will remain unaffected as will also those courses which now meet four or five hours a week for two semesters. However, the work in these courses will be so arranged that the close of the first semester will mark a definite stopping place in the work and if the student is compelled to withdraw from school during the next semester, he may begin where he left off. in the next year. Some changes have been made in the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Under these regulations, the candidate must hold a baccalaureate degree; he must pursue a course of study consisting of one major and two minors, which shall cover not less than one year of residence work; he must pass certain stipulated examinations and must present a satisfactory thesis. These are a part of the enlarging program which is intended to insure Wit- tenberg a place among the best schools of the country. Strict scholastic requirements are a basic foundation of any college or uni- versity. No matter the success gained on the football gridiron, basketball floor or the cinder track. No matter the excellence of the student publications and of undergraduate journalism, no matter the laurels won in inter-collegiate debate or oratory. All these are but ephemeral triumphs and will soon vanish if the institution which gains them has low scholarship requirements. Men and women will not spend money, energy or time at a school whose degree con- notes nothing more than two letters of the alphabet. At Wittenberg, however, the college authorities arc laying a strong founda- tion of good scholarship. I hese three educational advances will assuredly have material influence on scholastic achievements on the campus. They are an integral part of the enlarging program which is being carried on at present at Wittenberg and which is intended to secure the college a place among the best schools of the country. D. H.

RROW and Mask is an honorary senior girls’ organization and was established in 1922 by a group of senior gir's. The purpose of the organization is to further the woman’s activities and set a goal of attainment for all girls on the campus. May first, in a very impressive service on the campus, ten girls are chosen from the junior class to constitute the members of the society. This year Arrow anti Mask has worked with the faculty in the developing of a point system for women’s activities which is to be adopted next year.

Page Eighty-seven SOPI IOMORE CLASS Freshman-Sophomore Fight and Tug-o’-War The freshmen, for fear of missing something, assembled early, formed their rash and inexperienced numbers into a semblance of order and noisily marched down town to the Arcade. In fact excitement rose to such a pitch that they paraded the streets. In the meantime, the none the less courageous but wiser sophomores had met at the north end of Ridgewood and had marched to a secluded straw stack a short way off the Urbana pike where they remained for the night. We next see the sophomores, when at seven o’clock the following morning, their once more united forces made the rounds of the fraternity houses, capturing stray frosh.” Great merriment was being made by the sophomores at the col- lege entrance when a vast army of the enemy was descried approaching. I he rest may be told briefly. The classmen of '26 battled desperately against three- to-one odds, were overcome, divested of their trousers, marched into Recitation Hall and then to Snyder Park. Most sophs.” however, were in time to help pull the recently victorious through the cold, cold waters of the Snyder Park lagoon. It had been raining all morning and the ground was soft and muddy. I he rope seesawed for some time but after the climaz” came a right prompt denouement. I was Monday evening. September 17th. the night before the freshman- sophomore tug o war and on the campus not a single underclassman was to be found. Tradition decrees that by seven o’clock on the eve of the tug.” all freshmen and sophomores arc to be turned out of the fraternity houses and Myers Hall and left to shift for themselves till after the big event the next day.

HARRIS Prind|� al of the Academy EPTEMBER of 1923 marked the opening of the reorganized and enlarged Wittenberg Academy. For the first time in its long history, begin- ning in 1843, the Academy had rooms and equip- ment which it could call its own. Nicely ap- pointed classrooms, an assembly room seating one hundred and twenty, an office and well-equipped chemical and physical laboratories were fitted out during the sum- mer months. Additional instructors were added to the faculty lists to take care of the new courses added to the curriculum. During the fall, after an inspection made by the State Department of Education, the Academy was placed on the lists of accredited secondary schools of the State and the North Central Associations. The enrollment for the first year under the reorganization more than doubled the enrollment of previous years. 1 he following clubs were organized and have been functioning: The Academy Literary C lub, The Black Masque Dramatic Club. The Debating Club, The Hiking Club. The Y W” Club, and The Glee Club. Under C oach I rautwein the boys have been working faithfully on the rudi- ments of Basket Ball. It is hoped that next year schedules may be arranged for both football and basketball. In the early fall a trip was made to The Ohio Caverns. After the trip through the caverns all enjoyed a “weiner and marshmallow’’ roast. A trip to Fort Ancient is scheduled for the sp ring. Judging from the interest manifested and the work accomplished during the first year of the reorganized and enlarged Academy, its success for the coming years is practically assured. ABl.ANALP.

The purpose which Dr. Ezra Keller had in mind when he founded Wittenberg College in 1845. was to establish an educational institution to train men for the ministry. As k - $ the college grew and expanded, the seminary was set aside as a special department of the institution, known as Wittenberg Theological Semi- nary. '1 he present name of Hamma Divinity School was given in recognition of the generous gifts to the school by the late Doctor and Mrs. M. W. Hamma. The death of the Dean of the school. Dr. V. G. A. Tressler. which occurred just prior to the opening of the first semester, cast a gloom over the faculty and student body. A memorial service was held near the beginning of the school year at which time fitting tributes were paid to one who was admired and esteemed by all who knew him. Dr. L. H. Larimer has been acting as chairman of the faculty. Four new professors were added to the faculty this year. Prof. E. E. Flack is the head of the newly created department of Old Testament Language and Literature. Dr. Allen O. Becker, who has served a number of years as a missionary in India, is head of the new department of Christian Missions. Prof. William K. Gotwald and Prof. P. L. Mellcnbruch. of the college faculty, are teaching part time in the history department. Among the outstanding events of the year may be noted: the annual fall party; the installation services for three professors; the annual dinner for the college students who expect to enter the ministry; and the Summer School of I heology. The work of the year was brought to a close with the graduating day exercises. Prospects for the coming year are encouraging, and it is expected that the enrollment of the present year, which has been twenty-eight, will be exceeded.

The membership of this organization is composed of male students, repre- senting every college group, society and publication, and is the only representative association. I he Association has been in existence for a number of years, and was conceived for the purpose of furthering and bettering Wittenberg, and the ad- vancement of student interests. It has a remarkable list of achievements. The “Honor Day Banquet.” which seeks to bring the faculty and students together by promoting a more intimate relationship and association, and also to give credit to those deserving students who have made records in scholarship or in other important phases of college activity, was originated and sponsored by the Association. 1 he Freshman Rules and 1 raditions and numerous other forward steps in student life are also to be credited to this vital and extremely important organization.

MARTIN ALLEN TROUT LEE BARKER IIOWARD LAUG1INER JAMES GILBERT CYRUS WALLICK ROBERT MILLER DALTON YOUNG EDWARD WAGNER CARL KAMMEYER PAUL LARIMER HE Young Men s Christian Association of Wittenberg College has just experienced a most successful year. Since February. 1923. the Y” began to pick up in all phases of its work. A new spirit seemed to domi- nate those who then took office and for what the “Y has done in the past year we must give credit to those whose names we see above. In the spring of '23 the Y. M. and Y. W. co-operated in conducting the annual mission study class. Later a series of life service meetings were held. In May a spring retreat” was held for the cabinet, on the banks of Mad River, where plans for the fall work were discussed. Wittenberg was well represented at the Summer Y. M. C. A. Conference, at Lake Geneva, in June. This confer- ence trained and fitted the men for better Y” service. In the fall, the big brother movement, which the Y” promoted, meant much to the new students. In the first week of school the Y made itself known when the outdoor stag was held for all men of the college. After games in the hollow, a large fire was kindled back of the library where eats were served and talks made. The next big event in which the Y. M. figured was the General Jam, when the Y. M. and Y. W. combined their efforts and entertained five hundred students in the Arcade Hotel on September twenty-first. Later the “Y began to render valuable service to the community by sending out Gospel teams to the various churches of the county. The first Sunday in November was Guest Day. for due to the efforts of the Y.” every out-of-town college man was invited out to church and dinner on that day. During November the Bible discussion groups were started in all the men’s groups. The Student Chest Campaign November twentieth and twenty-third, in which the Y’s budget was raised, was a big success. In December, from the seventh to the tenth, the Ohio Valley Region of the Lutheran student association of America held its first conference at Wittenberg. During this time when the above events were happening, the membership work of the “Y was quietly going on until by the holidays one hundred men had been received into membership. 1 he first of the second semester was marked by the adoption of a constitution. Later in the semester, during Lent, the Mission class was conducted with Dr. Allen Becker, professor of Missions, in charge. Senator Fcss, Sherwood Eddy, and other notable speakers have been brought to the college by the “Y during the year.

A. has been a guiding star for all the new girls of Wittenberg. The Y. W. is of untold value in fostering the development and broadening of young women. This year has been an unusually successful one for the organization, due probably to the in- creased enrollment of the college. The membership drive in October brought many new members. I his was made possible only through the hard work and efforts of the older girls in making the new girls feel at home in their new surroundings. Many were the calls made during those first few weeks and many were the hearts gladdened through the opportunity of meeting girls and forming friendships made possible by the Young Womens Christian Associ- ation. Under the splendid leadership of Sarah Smith the cabinet was able to accom- plish many things. Each committee chairman felt the responsibility of her office and needless to say all the goals of the committees were reached. Dorothea Hackenberg deserves much credit for the success of the social life of the Y. W. Her untiring efforts made possible the “Big and Little Sister Party,” “'the General Jam.” and the “Teas,” during the first months of school. Irving Overstreet instigated the idea of having a Bible study hour each week in every sorority house and in Fcrncliff Hall. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time the social service committee with Elizabeth Riegel as chairman made many children and poor people happy with baskets filled with goodies and gifts. Ruth Durborow. chairman of the meetings committee, has taken great care in provid- ing excellent programs for our meetings each Tuesday afternoon. The best part of all is the fact that practically all meetings have been conducted by the girls themselves. It is needless to relate all the good and profitable things the cabinet have done during the year. Our Y. W. C. A. has been well represented at various conferences this year. Last July six Wittenberg girls attended the conference at Eagles Mere, Pa. Betty Larimer represented the cabinet at Lake Geneva. At the Student Con- ference at Indianapolis in January, the Y. W. C. A. had three representatives. The Cabinet Training Council was held at Denison in March under the aus- pices of the local organization. From each conference named, numberless benefits have been derived. Page One Hundred Ten CABINET w=n YWCA Htltn P'v fT Page One Hundred Eleven ra� VVITTENBERGER. ----1 n o' ? The first official drive for funds was instituted this year for the financing of nine organiza- tions. activities and causes of interest to the college. This plan was instituted for the protection of the students against the numerous drives for organization funds as have been conducted each year. It was economical and efficient, it gave all organizations an equal and fair chance, and aided greatly in furthering the Wittenberg spirit. I he student body recognized at once the advantages that would accrue from such an organi- zation and drive. A complete drive organization was effected, the goal was fixed at thirty-eight hundred dollars: and in three days, half again that amount was raised.

The aim of Tau Kappa Alpha is twofold. It offers a strong incentive for an undergraduate to develope whatever gifts he may have along forensic lines which are remaining latent, either through lack of practice, or because of false modesty. However, the fraternity does not stop with holding itself before the eyes of the student body as an incentive to make out of one’s self a silver-tongued orator but it goes further by conferring upon those who. through faithful applica- tion and natural ability achieve forensic laurels, a permanent honor which is recognized throughout the United States in more than fifty of our largest colleges and universities.

Resolved, that the United States should become a member of the present League of Nations (constitutionality conceded). Due to a new system adopted by the coach. Professor Brees. the men were not chosen for a position permanently, but each man on the squad was required to contend for a place before each debate, in order to earn the right to represent Wittenberg. As a result, the teams have been exceptionally well trained, both in subject matter and in delivery. Due to the impossibility of scheduling more debates. Wittenberg has only participated in five contests this year, the schedule being: December I I. Capital University (dual); February 28. Bethany College and Marietta College (tri- angular); March 7. Muskingum and Otterbein (triangular conference debate); March 14. Ohio Northern and Baldwin-Wallace (triangular conference debate); and March 21. Heidelberg (dual alternate debate). I hroughout the year interest was at a high pitch and through the careful training of Coach Brees. this year’s debate team well represents its Alma Mater. The personnel of the teams was: AFFIRMATIVE: First Speaker William Simon. John Slater. John Miller. Second Speaker Paul Crinale. Lester Crowl. Gerald Bush. Third Speaker- Janies Matthews. Carl Kammeyer. NEGATIVE: First Speaker John VanDervoort, William Pansing. Theodore Gray. Second Speaker Paul Keyser. Thomas I lavward. Third Speaker Granville Brooks. Page One Hundred Sixteen Ohe WITTENBEEGER. The Intercollegiate Debate Teams NTEREST in intercollegiate debating for girls has been unusually high this year. A tryout was held on October 23, 1923. in which there were thirty-five participants. From this number, twelve were chosen for the squad. The girls began intensive training at once, under the direc- tion of Wittenberg’s Debate Coach. Prof. Paul R. Brees. The question for this year is: “Resolved that Ohio and Michigan should adopt a plan similar to that of Kansas for settling labor disputes.” The season promises to be the best which our co-eds have ever known. The schedule includes a triangular debate on March 27th with Albion Col- lege. Albion. Michigan, and Butler College. Indianapolis: a dual debate on March 28th with Albion; and a dual with Otterbein University early in April. The personnel of the teams was: AFFIRMATIVE: First Speaker—Gladys Moser: Dorothea I lackcnbcrg. Alice Beck. Second Speaker—Katherine Koller. Margaret I lunter. Third Speaker—Ethel Wischart. Virginia Kunkle. NEGATIVE: First Speaker Elizabeth Larimer. Lenore Kaufman. Louise Kuhlman. Second Speaker Louise I loover. Mabel Wood. Margaret Rockel. Third Speaker Florence Markward. Page One Hundred Seventee X WIT rF 'Bt: .GFR ; , „ ,4 WILLIAM SIMON CARL STROBEL Intercollegiate Oratory OR the second time since 1917 Wittenberg was represented in the state oratorical contests. In the school year of 1922-1923 Wittenberg entered representatives and was unusually successful. Mr. Victor Hileman winning third place in the State Old L.ine Contest and Mr. Robert Weiskotten winning second place in the State Peace Contest. The suc- cess of Wittenberg in these contests must be attributed to the efforts and ability of the professor of public speaking. Paul R. Brccs. T his year the competition for the privilege of representing Wittenberg in the two annual contests was unusually strong. About thirty men tried out in No- vember. and from these four men were picked, two representatives and two alternates, William Simons for the State Old Line Contest and Paul Keyser, alternate; and Carl Strobel for the State Peace Contest and Paul LL. Gringle. alternate. I he State Old Line Contest was held at Heidelberg College. Tiffin. Ohio. February 13. 1924. Mr. William Simon. Wittenberg’s representative, made a good showing among the seven contestants with his oration. Pitching Toward Sodom. Wooster and Muskingum took first and second places respectively and Wittenberg’s representative ran a close third. The State Peace Contest will be held at Wittenberg College on May I. 1924. and Mr. Carl Strobel will represent the local school. There will be seven entrees in this contest. Wittenberg is again on the map in Oratory in the intercollegiate world and the prospects for more success in the future with the capable leadership of Pro- fessor Brees and with the increasing interest that is being shown in such work are indeed bright. Page One Hundred Eighteen Ohe WITTEN'BF.EGER-. Inter-Society Forensics ECOVERING from her slump of last year, Philosophian Literary Society has shown remarkable strength in the literary contests of the past year. Euterpca, in her second year of membership, celebrated by winning places in all the contests in which her members participated. In the Oratorical Contest, the first clash of the year. Euterp’s representatives. Ethel Wisehart and Gladys Moser, won first and fourth places: Miss Wisehart with an oration “Beauty for Ashes” taking first place. Luther Gringlc. speaking on “The Dignity of Toil.” and Donovan Pearson with ” I he Conflict between Capital and Labor” placed second and third respectively. Both men are Philos. In the Declamation Contest. Excel’s representatives again failed to make an appearance in the winning column. I hose who took places in order were: Carl Strobcl. Philo, with The Progress of Madness;” Gladys Moser. Euterp., “Bob’s Violin.” and Donovan Pearson. Philo. Pieces of Silver.” The question for the debate between Philo and Excel, held April 4. 1924, was: Resolved That Student Government Should be Adopted at Wittenberg Within the Next Two Years.” Page One Hundred Nineteen Excelsior Literary Society RGANIZED November 20, 1843, Excel, the older of the two literary societies, has existed for seventy-eight years. During these years this society, with Philo, has played its part in making Wittenberg College what it is today. bor nearly twenty years these two literary societies were the only organizations of any kind whatsoever on the campus, and for half a centur or more they were practically the only extra-curricular activity of the students. While not occupying such an ostentatious place as formerly, in the world of student activities. Excel is still as important as ever, she is doing work, train- ing the men o the school for the many duties which await them after Com- mencement Day. A man to be successful in any undertaking, be it commercial or professional, secular or religious, whatever it may be. must have the powei to express himself when he is before an audience. He must throw his personality into his words and actions; he must impress men and women favorably with whatever object he talks on. A person who has learned to do this in college the literary society needs no further preparation after college. Whereas he who perversely neglects such opportunities as Excel or Philo, must spend miserable hours before hostile audiences. Such a purpose as is outlined above has actuated Excelsior throughout her long years of activity. While not always successful in the more immediate tests of the societies’ success the literary contests nevertheless she has trained and is training her sons well. Excel holds a secure place in the hearts of our alumni, old and new. and with this behind her. she has naught to fear for the future. Page One Hundred Twenty Excel Roll Call ZIMMERMAN. DOYLE BOWMAN.

Philosophian Literary Society I THE outset of the history of Wittenberg College, the urgent demand for a student organization wherein literary and oratorical talents might be exercised and developed, led to the establishing of the college literary societies. In the year of the founding of the college. Excel saw its be- ginning and some months later the Philosophian society appeared as an off-shoot from Excelsior for the purpose of stimulating interest by competition. Like a United States, the offspring of an England. Philo has risen in strength to the status of a rival power to defeat Excel in many a struggle in the contest hall. That knowledge gained might be strengthened by application, that the stu- dent might learn to think and express his thoughts to his fellows with confidence, ease, and ability, that responsibility, loyalty and clean sportsmanship in contest might be acquired, all these are the noble objects and purposes of the Philosophian Society. Skill in elocution, debate, extemporaneous speaking, frank and honest criticism, and the laws of parliamentary procedure are the developments of membership. Nor does Philo ignore that demand for social activity that is ever present when any group of students associate themselves with any organization. Of late. Philo has labored under the strain of competition of many new activities in the college. The splendid new public speaking department has furnished an outlet for literary tendencies, but Philo has still kept up its pros- perity. Love of the tradition of the society and the opportunity for free discus- sions are responsible for this. The new freshman eligibility rules have brought forth a great deal of good material, and Philo has lived up to its traditions. Page One Hundred Twenty-two Philo Roll Call BARK FIR. LEE BOWERS.

Euterpea was established as the literary society for women in 1886. The founders were: Lulu Cumback. Lillian Stough. Esther Crawford. Mary Baer. Sally Breckenridge. and Jennie Neal. The motto for Euterpea is “Curac Nihil Impossible Est,” and the colors are gold and blue. At present the Euterpean Literary Society is making marked progress. There have been times during its existence when clouds hung heavy over its horizon and despair settled over its faithful few. while Euterpea seemed to be slowly drifting into non-existence. However, there has always been those who have rallied to her cause and restored her again and again to the rightful place she occupies in the life of the college girl. f-or several years the society was divided into junior and senior Euterpea. At the beginning of the year 1921 it was decided to reorganize as one body and that membership be placed on a scholarship basis. During the past year the grade system of eligibility was abolished in favor of a point system on the basis of literary activities. The aim of the organization is to create a desire among college women to reach out into the broader literary fields that each individual girl may feel the fullness of the charm and the power found in literary achievements of the present day. Debate, short stories, and declamations are given at different times. In fact. Euterpea enters the lists against Philo and Excel and is proving a very worthy opponent.

T T , PaKt One Hundred Twenty-six Music 2k WITTKNBFR.GFIL School of Music FREDERICK LEWIS BACH Director of the School of Music I IE School of Music, although still in its infancy as to organization, has grown steadily and rapidly until it is now one of the largest departments in the college. During the summer of nineteen hundred twenty-two. President Tulloss and the college authorities completed definite arrangements for an entire reorganization of the depart- ment of Music on a sound basis such that only progress and growth could result. With this in mind, they chose as director of the School, one who through many years of experience in school work, and sev- eral years as director of a Conservatory of Music, had become unusually well equipped to solve the scholastic problems and manage the organization of such a School. Not alone for this did they select Frederick Lewis Bach, but because through study with eminent teachers including Theodore Leschetzky. the world’s greatest pedagogue of the piano, and through constant experience in teaching he has developed into one of the few great and successful teachers of piano and organ in this country. At the same time, the college secured an assistant professor of piano. John Thomas Williams, who also serves as assistant director. I le has proved himself not only a fine instructor but an able conductor, having trained the Ladies’ Glee Club to a remarkable height of artistic singing. The elementary piano department was placed in charge of Grace Snyder Williams who understands children thoroughly and knows how to ground them in the Leschetzky principles, and who is herself a charming pianist. Willard Osborne was placed at the head of the violin de- partment. 1 le is an artist on the instrument and a capable instructor. Charles Dobson was chosen head of the voice department. The music faculty was complete for the first year. The building which is the present quarters of the School of Music was purchased and under- went a rapid transformation. The building was refinished both inside and out and the necessary equipment installed for proper music study. With this group of instructors at the head of the work, the School grew very rapidly both in enrollment and reputation. The accomplishments of the School during the year were many. Student concerts were given a number of times to audiences which were enthusiastic in their admiration of the type and char- acter of the productions. The college choir, under the leadership of Professor Bach, give parts of the Messiah at Christmas time, and at Easter gave an unusual production of the Seven Last Words of Christ. by Dubois. It was the privilege of Professor Bach to present two of his students as competitors for the state prize at the contest held at Zanesville, Ohio, by the National Federation of Women’s Clubs. Among ten contestants. Wittenberg’s representatives took first and second honors. Willard Rhodes receiving the first prize and Marshall Bailey the second. This in itself proved the superi- ority of the teaching at the Wittenberg School of Music. Miss Ruth I leyman. the first graduate of the School, gave a brilliant graduation recital at graduating time and is this year an instructor in the elementary piano department. With the increasing demand for instruction, the School has added equipment constantly until they now have fifteen pianos, both grands and uprights, many studios and practice rooms, and two organs. During the fore part of this year, the demand for a department of wind instruments became so great that a military band School was organized with B. D. Gilliland at the head. Mr. Gilliland is a man who has had unusual experience in band work and is eminent throughout the country not only as teacher of band instruments but as a band and orchestra conductor. I I is own opera. In Guam. was given this year with great success by the combined Glee Clubs. The head of the voice department was changed the first of January, and Charles Keep, of Waco. Texas, took up the work. I lis experience in opera and choir work and his study under excellent teachers has fitted him admirably for the position of vocal instructor. The possibilities of the School of Music for the future are unlimited. With the advantages of position, a splendid faculty, and positive demand for such a school, it is not surprising that the Wittenberg School of Music is already classed among the highest ranking musical schools of the state. Pa?c One Hundred Tw. nly-cit;ht The Bach Choir OFFICERS LUCILLE 1IULSHIZER - - RUTH SWARTZ - - - MARGARET SCI IUBERTII - DONALD SCI IONER - - ALBERT BIRCH ADRIAN LE BOLD - - - President Vice-President Secretary T reasurcr Manager Librarian RESENCE and influence of the Bach Choir has again been felt on Wittenberg’s campus this year. If their rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s ‘‘Messiah’’ at the Christmas vesper concert had been the only time it had appeared the organization would have made a name for itself. The Christmas spirit was radiated to the audience as perhaps it had never been done before in the college chapel. The choir has developed and deepened the interest of not only college students but also that of the community in the Lenten Vesper services. Every Sunday during Lent the Lutheran service was chanted in the most reverent and worshipful way. One of the outstanding features was the beautiful and effective chanting of the Lord’s Prayer. By those who heard it. it will not be forgotten. The Bach Choir has been an organization working for the better appreciation of the Lutheran service among the students, and to make music have a more serious place in their hearts. Through the choir this realization has been met and thus the choir is a force for good through the highest of all arts. This season the organization has increased its membership to six members in each part. A word of appreciation is due Professor Bach, director ol the School of Music and director of this choir, for his untiring efforts and his ability to direct in such a way that proves that the greater the musical mind of the conductor the more successful will be the organization. Page One Hundred Twcnly-ninc Ohe WITTENBERGER. , 'o ? 4 The Men s Glee Club attracted Dy tne scnooroi music as tne college enrollment increases, hence an increasingly large number of those in the club arc becoming trained singers. In addition, courses in theory of music and sight singing arc now open to all members of the club while college credit is given for work done when sup- plemented by theoretical study. All these facilities, together with the efficient direction of Professor Frederick Lewis Bach, have made possible a successful year for the Glee C lub. Back of all this, and more fundamental, lies the fact that Wittenberg is a Lutheran school. The Lutheran church is noted for her unexcelled singing. She is known and acclained as the “singing church.” So. from the very nature of the student body, drawn from Lutheran homes for the most part. Wittenberg is a musical school. As an advertising agency, the Glee Club has served its Alma Mater well. It goes into the midst of the territories of those who should know of Wittenberg, and visibly and audibly represents the school. The Glee C lub men are personal ambassadors of Wittenberg to those who would not believe her greatness other- wise. PERSONNEL OR many years Wittenberg has been noted for its fine male choruses. Each year a strong, well-trained organization has toured many of the larger towns and cities over the territory served by the College. Since the new school of music has been established, even greater prospects for a chorus of male voices loom up. More talent is being PROFESSOR JOI IN FREDERICK LEWIS BACI I.

Wittenberg C onservatory of Music has been very fortunate in procuring a faculty worthy of the notice of all who are interested in the study of music and who desire such an education. Professor John Thomas Williams has created a splendid organization among the college women, namely, the Girls’ Glee Club which has made ad- vancement by leaps and bounds in the past two years. The splendid success and achievements of the Wittenberg Girls’ Glee Club are all due to the careful and conscientious efforts of its competent and highly respected director. The girls made their first appearance in the college chapel the first of December. Last year the club gave concerts in Mansfield. Crestline and Columbus. All three of these places asked for concerts to be given by the same organization again this year. Two trips, each of five days duration, which included Akron, Mansfield. Ashland. Columbus, Canton. Galion, Crestline. Cleveland. Toledo. Youngstown, and Butler. Pa. were taken. A concert given in Tippecanoe City February 15th, and one in the Springfield High School Auditorium Feb- ruary 18th. preceded the trip. PROFESSOR JOHN THOMAS WILLIAMS.

OAf Wrr'l'HNBF.RGF.R. -- The College Band OTHING stands out more vividly to the old graduates with retentive memories than the often painful, always sporadic efforts made by the college band, first to be a band in fact and in organization, second, to play as a band may be expected to play, and third, to serve at games and other public occasions according to the accepted modes set down in the unwritten, but nevertheless exacting, conventions of college ways, f successful playing now and then, or a successful parade and the band seemed to have done its duty. It simply vanished. When next wanted it could not be gathered. Thus it was that Bands have existed at Wittenberg in name at least, and frequently in pictures, but never so close to reality and success as at present. The reasons are obvious. With the advent of the School of Music came the decision by the Director. Professor Bach, to have every music activity of the college on a sound basis, successful in organization, under proper college control and touched with the right ideals of artistic achievement. Everything was in readiness. The college was willing to give financial support to purchase instruments, uniforms and music, while the students were anxious to do what they could to put an important activity into permanency. And then Professor Bach found the leader, one without his peer in the colleges of the land, one sought by the Government to take over the Marine Band, a distinguished teacher with one-time pupils playing in many of the best bands and orchestras of the country, leader of the Kilties, and organizer and leader of the Black Hus- sars. with engagements all over the world. Now we shall have a band that we may be proud of. When it does appear, it will show the marks of a great, unex- celled teacher, a world renowned leader, our own Professor of Wind Instruments in the Wittenberg School of Music — B. D. Gilliland.

Journalism had come to the place where it influenced and guided the activities, courses of action, and thoughts of the average Wittenberger to such an extent that this field of endeavor had to be controlled and those deserving honor could not be denied any longer. Scroll and Quill, through its influential members, that is. as far as the influence of a pub- lication goes, has tried to enlarge and improve the three publications that are present on the campus. Those recognized by this organization are so honored by requirements that arc as rigid and severe as any of a journalistic frater- nity. In the future it is hoped that a strong national journalistic fraternity will grant Scroll and Quill a charter and with this institution and its publications progressing as quickly and consistently as they arc. this day should not be far off. This year five students were received into membership. MEMBERS EDWIN A.

How the soul of an alumnus is stirred to the very depths upon returning to his school! Yet how much more college means to those who have never left it and who await the conferring of the final degree. To Wittenbergers. Alma Mater is no longer an abstract term. It has taken life and stepped forth in power and beauty. Alma Mater Day is the culmination of all college events. It is the Day of Days. It is the occasion when every man and woman bows in reverence to the school. For this reason it is the aspiration of every girl to wear some day that garb signifying her devo- tion and constancv to her school. At this time all phases of the college are shown. Preparations arc carried on for weeks, in order to make this day successfully bear its name. It is the only time in the year when the young women are totally responsible for an outdoor activity. Almost every girl is busy, either with committee meetings or doing errands. Why is all this done so willingly and cheerfully? Simply for their Alma Mater. Anna Belle Bohlender very deftly took charge of the general chairman- ship. The enviable position of Alma Mater was held by Florence Markward. The women who so ably assisted the general chairman were Miss Cadwgan. Elizabeth Riegel. Virginia Kunklc. Janet Goble. Marion Lewis. Elizabeth Larimer. Fern Swigert. Esther Lannert. Grace Smith. Dorothy Sticknev, Anna Haynes. Isabel Brenan. Bernice Winter. Nellie Murphey and Thelma Harrison. On a bright day of early June when the sun is sinking in the west, thousands of people gathci on the hills of Wittenberg, not only the sons and daughters of the grand old school but adopted ones as well. As this throng of people watch the shadows play upon the valley below them, far off in the distance the herald sounds the bugle. Then the piocession appears in its gala attire! Ah! I here are the torches proclaiming far and wide that wonderful motto, Having Light We Pass It on to Others.” Once again the full significance is cast abroad. There are many other attractions such as the young women representing the various degrees that are given, the groups that are to give the dances, but the attention is concentrated on one person who is the young woman representing Alma Mater. Farther away is the chosen one who soon will don the purple garb which represents this institution. In her appears the model of true loyalty and the guide of high achievements. Then as the gown is bestowed upon her. the Alma Mater song breaks forth from everyone present. As the words fade away, from the distance comes the sound of taps. P«rc One Hundred Fifty-two Page One Hundred F'ifly-lhrec Page One Hundred Fifty-four te F.RNEST R. CODFREY Coach WILLIAM TRAUTWF.IN Assistant Coaches N his six years at Wittenberg Head Coach Ernest R. Godfrey has placed five basketball teams in the field that were the terror of the Ohio Con- ference. He turned out a football team that was undefeated for three successive years, and in the other three years he won twelve and tied three of the twenty-one conference struggles. His faithful wrork has raised Wittenberg athletics to a plane that w-as thought impossible a few' years ago. The new $100,000 football stadium dedicated last fall will long stand as a monument to the coaching genius of ‘King Godfrey. Proof of the ability of Wittenberg’s coach is the number of star athletes he has trained to battle for the Cardinal and Cream. A number of these are now- coaching in colleges and high schools. In the former class we may mention Raymond Detrick, who piloted the Mt. Union team to the conference champion- ship during the past winter, and William Lange, the first Wittenberg graduate to coach a team which defeated his Alma Mater. L.ange is in charge of the Mus- kingum college teams. In high schools all over Ohio Wittenberg trained men are training athletes. Some of these coaches are: Burdette. Farmer, Burgner. Etter, Hummon. Netts. Bcrtschy. Rohlfing. and Hathaway. Still another of Godfrey’s pupils. Big Dutch” Trautwein. has entered the coaching field, coming back to his Alma Mater this year as First Assistant to his former instructor. Dutch” is also in charge of the athletics in the New Wittenberg Academy. During the early football season two part-time coaches were employed: Ted Schaffer, former Wit- tenberg quarterback of note, and John Hebcrling. halfback on the eleven until his graduation in 1923. The latter was in special charge of the Fresh- man squad, w'hipping it into shape to battle against varsity. RAY DAVIS Cool ha 11 Manager HAROLD FLARRIDA Acting Basketball Mgr.

Five members compose the board proper. They are: Dr. Albert H. Studcbaker, Dr. Alvin F. Linn. Dr. R. Morris Smith. Dean Ross Miller, and Charles B. Zimmerman. There are also four advisory members: Coach Ernest R. Godfrey. Assistant Coach William Trautwein.

Anyone who has been awarded a varsity letter by the college is eligible for membership. The men who became members of the association this year are: Russell Beichly, Chester Immel, Sam Cornwell. Marvin Borst. Winton Moeller. Joshua Grimm. Henry Lang. Mac Barr. Floyd Lyman, and Ray Davis A unique method of keeping a record of the members of the organization is employed. A large sheepskin roll is employed for this purpose, the members being allowed to place their names upon it as soon as they have been elected to membership. Other data of interest to present and future Wittenbergers is carefully filed away by the secretary. A special pin is used to designate the members of the group as well as the college letter. As the years roll by the records preserved by the group should be valuable to establish the authenticity of athletic records and the like.

WITTENBEUGER- - Eaton l ucks the Otterbein line The Season WITTENBERG 79 ANTIOCH 6 HE brilliant 79 to 6 victory of Wittenberg over Antioch in the first game of the year, on September 29th. foretold a successful season. The game was likewise the first played in the new stadium. In commemo- ration of the occasion John L. Zimmerman, treasurer of the college, kicked off the first time. 1 he affair proved to be one-sided from the very start and after the first half, with his team on the long end of a 32 to 0 score Coach Godfrey sent in his reserves, giving all the men on the squad a chance to show their skill. But still the Antioch team could not hold and 33 points were rolled up against them in the final quarter alone. Nabers made the tally for the Yellow Springs boys in the third quarter, when he intercepted a Wittenberg forward pass and raced 50 yards through an open field for the touchdown. Beichly, playing his first game for Wittenberg, lead in the scoring, carrying the ball across 6 times. Eaton, the husky fullback, was close behind him with 5 touchdowns, while the remaining counter was the work of Borman. Rohleder Ralph Ness (C) Senior RALPI I NESS.

John Tompkins Senior Page One Hundred Sixty-three X WITTEKBERGER- Otterbein stops a line buck got his kicking toe into action on the try for point after touchdown, booting across 7 out of I I attempts. Coach Godfrey used Glattke, guard on the last year’s team, and Churchman, a former halfback, on the ends. Rohleder and Tompkins filled the tackle berths, and Lang and Kishman took care of the guards. Smith, out for the team for the first time since 1921, was at center, with Ness. Borman. Eaton, and Beichly performing in the backfield. WITTENBERG 24 GEORGETOWN 0 The second obstacle in Wittenberg’s pre-conference gridiron campaign was brushed aside October 6th, when Georgetown. Kentucky, college was defeated 24 to 0. However, the game was not as easy as the score might indicate. In the first half the men from the Blue Grass state showed unexpected strength, hold- ing the Cardinal and Cream to 3 points, the result of a 28 yard place kick by Rohleder. Most of the time the ball seesawed back and forth. Wittenberg holding the upper hand but unable to score and Georgetown outclassed but fighting hard. LUTHER SMITH Lute was out for the squad two years ago but his weight was against him. So he stayed out a year and acquired some beef. On the defense he was especially good at intercepting passes and making impossible tackles. At the center job he never bungled a pass all season. RICIIARD CRISS Parental objections meant nothing to Dick. who won over his father in time to get into the Stadium Dedication game. Shifted from tackle to end he grasped the needs of the position and by the end of the year was making himself known. Could grab passes out of the air when others would have failed. One more year would have placed him among the choice ends of the Conference. _ _ Richard Cris Senior Luther Smith Senior Pa?c One Hundred Sixty-four WITTENBE.RGF.R_ The first touchdown of the season After a session with Assistant C oach I rautwein between halves, for King” Godfrey was scouting the Wcsleyan-Ohio State garr.c at Columbus, the Lutheran team came back on the field with blood in their eyes, determined to make up for their poor showing in the first half. I hey rushed across a touchdown in the third quarter and two more in the final stanza. Bcichly. Eaton, and Ness each carrying the ball over once. Rohleder turned in two points after touch- down by booting the ball from placement and Beichly added one to his total by a drop kick. The lineup) which started the game was practically the same as that used against Antioch the week before excepting that Glattke was back at his old position at guard while Cornwell, a sophomore. |)layed the end. The whole line presented an impenetrable defence to the Georgetown team but the work of the two men just mentioned and of Rohleder at tackle, was especially worthy of note. WITTENBERG 0 OHIO WESLEYAN 14 Dedication day for the new stadium was perfect but for one thing Witten- berg failed to win.

ARTI IUR GLATTKE Playing his second season on the Cardinal and Cream squad. ‘‘Art'' won for himself a guard berth on the Second All-Ohio team.

Wesleyan bad a slight edge in this department. Shortly after the second period opened Eaton punted to Wesleyan’s 40 yard line where the man receiving was dropped in his tracks. On the next play Cap- tain Ted” Turney, of the Gauthier coached outfit, tore through the Wittenberg line for a 45 yard gain. Only a brilliant tackle by Eaton prevented a touchdown. With about 15 yards to go the Wesleyan team set itself for a touchdown. But the opposition stiffened, and when, on the second play someone fumbled, a Cardinal and Cream warrior covered the ball. Dame Fortune had smiled for a moment, but her mood soon changed. Eaton attempted to punt, the line gave way and a Wesleyan man threw himself in front of the ball. A moment later Knachel scooped it up and dashed across the line for a touchdown. I urney booted the extra ooint and the score stood Wesleyan 7 Wittenberg 0. The score only served to put more life into the Lutheran players. On the last of an exchange of punts Beichly got the ball on his own 29 yard line and ran it back to the 40 mark. Wesleyan was off side and Wittenberg had first down on its own 45 yard line. Ness took a pass from Beichly for 15 yards and first down. Eaton bucked the line for two more and on the next play Beichly circled the right end for 18 yards, following it with a run around the other wing for nine.

Union line bucks netted no gains so the slippery quarterback sneaked through center, making first down on the Wesleyan 1 1 yard line. Wittenberg rooters went wild, for it seemed that in a few minutes more the score would be tied. Beichly once more tried the right end and gained three yards. With less than 8 yards to go to the last white line Captain Ness plowed through the line for seven of them, making it first down with only a half yard left to go. On the next play Wesleyan braced and no gain was made, and then the timekeeper’s whistle ended the half. Scccnd Half As the second period opened Wesleyan players began to gain a slight advantage. Play was mostly in the Wittenberg territory during the remainder of the game, the Cardinal and Cream warriors only threatening to score once. After working the ball down to the 18 yard line by a series of end runs and linebucks, Baton heaved a pass to Cornwell, but the plucky end was tackled so hard that the ball slipped from his grasp. Wesleyan recovered and drove down the field to the Wittenberg 15 yard mark. Criss broke thru on the next play, throwing the Methodist player who was trying a sneak for a loss of several yards. Wesleyan tried a place kick which went wide, the ball passing over to Wittenberg, who carried it out to the 25 yard mark before the quarter ended. Here they were forced to punt but the ball went out of bounds at the John Kishman Junior JOHN KISHMAN As a guard he sure can hold out his opponents. An injured leg kept him out of several games in the middle of the season but he was mentioned by some for All-Ohio honors in spite of that. Will form part of Godfrey's ''stonewall line next year. RUSSELL BIECHLY Playing his first year on a college eleven. Beichly took up the duties of a quarterback. 1 lis skill at directing the team was only sur- passed by his ability to run the ends and to hurl forward passes. Picked for the All-Ohio hirst team, lias two years left for Wittenberg. We predict great things for this lad. Russell Beichly Sophomore 1 Page One Hundred Sixly-eight Thai famous tandem buck 40 mark. A long pass by Wesleyan put the pigskin back near the Wittenberg goal and a couple of line bucks pushed it over. Turney, who carried it across, also kicked goal and the score stood: Wesleyan 14, Wittenberg 0. I he remaining time was spent by Wittenberg in hurling forward passes in a vain attempt to score. Individual stars would be hard to choose. Beichly probably showed the most brilliant offensive for the home team, while Glattke, Kishman, Rohleder. Corn- well. Smith and Tompkins stood well on the defense. Criss celebrated his return to the lineup by carrying a stellar role. Pearce. Knachel, and the Turney brothers were the outstanding Wesleyan players. WITTENBERG 28 KENYON 7 -J Wittenberg tucked away her first conference victory on October 27th, when the representatives of Kenyon college were sent home on the short end of a 28-7 score. Smarting under their defeat at the hands of Wesleyan on the previous Saturday Coach Godfrey’s men played heads up ball throughout the entire game, outclassing their opponents in every department with the possible exception of forward passing. SAMUEL CORNWELL Rangy and wiry this newcomer in Wittenberg football circles made a place for himself at end. Injuries slowed up his playing at the first of the season but when he got started he made things hum. In two more years he should make himself known throughout the state. Samuel Cornwell Sophomore CHESTER IMMEL Another first year man who showed up to good advantage. When a reserve end was needed he could be relied upon to deliver the goods. Leaves us next year to enter Cornell. Sorry to lose him. as his place will be hard to fill. Chester I mine I Sophomore Pa«e One Hundred Sixty-nine Bcichlcy tackled in mid-field Rolileder’s kickoff was caught by a Kenyon man on the 30 yard line, but he was almost smothered under an avalanche of Wittenberg players. Neither side was able to make any material gain at the first, the battle raging nip and tuck. In the second quarter, however. Criss and later Biechly crossed the last white line with Rohlcder booting the extra points. In the second half Churchman, substituting for Eaton at the fullback position, gave a wonderful demonstration of line smashing. The much touted Kenyon forward wall was literally torn to pieces. “Sam’’ plowing thru for two tallies after carrying the ball on almost every play. I he lone Kenyon touchdown came as a result of their brilliant forward passes, the up-state team being unable to gain a yard thru the Wittenberg line. Rybak caught the ball on the last pass behind the Lutheran goal line while Somers dropkickcd for the extra point. The game ended with the Cardinal and Cream backs tearing great holes through the Kenyon team, but unable to push across before the whistle. Kishman. right guard, being out of the game with injuries received in the contest of the week before. Henry Lange was called upon to take his place. 1 he sophomore youth delivered in great style.

HENRY LANGE Played at guard when one of the regulars was disabled. I leavy but fast for his size, he was a hard man to keep out of a play. I las lately developed into a punter of no mean ability. Will hold down a regular berth next year if nothing happens to him. Henry Lan ;e Sophomore Pane One Hundred Seventy %e WIT TENBEEGFiL - j o 7 ; _ Glattko downs his man good, no one man standing out above the others in this respect. Churchman was undoubtedly the backfield star. After this contest a battle royal for the fullback job was predicted by many as soon as Eaton should be sufficiently recovered from his injuries to get back into the game. WITTENBERG 24 OTTERBEIN 13 Otterbein fell before the fierce onslaught of Coach Godfrey’s warriors to the tunc of 24-13 on November I Oth. The day had been set aside as high school guest day and the stadium held the largest crowd of the season. Phis game was the second defeat of the year for the Westerville boys as well as the second Conference victory for the Fighting Lutherans. Play shifted up and down the field during the first quarter, and at the end of that period it was still anybody’s game. With the ball on their own 28 yard line the Wittenberg team started a series of line plunges soon after the initial period. Beichly followed with a heave to Criss who ran 30 yards thru the Otterbein secondary defense for the first counter. Score at the end of the half: Wittenberg 7, Otterbein 0. Marvin Borst Sophomore Page One Hundred Seventy-one MARVIN BORST Injuries received early in the year bothered this lad for the rest of the season. Played at either center or guard and showed up well. Will make some of the others step next year. WINTON MOELLER Light but fast. Moeller was a candidate for the fullback job. I Ic too was on the bench most of the season with injuries sustained in practice. Wi l develop into a reliable ball totcr before his college days are over. Then we must not forget the men who worked all season but failed to win their letters. When one is reasonably sure of getting into the games it is real sport, but if you are only allowed to mix it for a few minutes when your team is holding a secure lead, then it requires stick-to-it- iveness to report for practice day after day. We might mention Tuccinardi. a backfield man of promise. Brecht, who played in the same place. I loward and Boiscl. a pair of nifty tackles. Gregory, the gian of the squad, who played at guard, and the Portz brothers, out for the same job. I v . Winton Moeller Sophomore %e WITTENBEEGER, -1-9-2 4-, Bcichley fini he: his 98 yard run With the opening of the second half Ottcrbcin took matters into their own hands, Statts receiving a Wittenberg punt and going through the entire Lutheran team for a touchdown. It was a beautiful piece of open field running, the longest to date on the new field. Anderson failed to kick goal. With the score so close the Cardinal and Cream representatives began to see red. After the kickoff they rushed the ball down to the enemy’s 45 yard line where Rohlcdcr was called back for a place kick. Captain Ness held the ball for the big tackle, whose sure toe guided it square between the uprights, I his little demonstration seemed to take the starch out of Coach Ditmar’s squad for the time being. Before they could recover their poise Baton had climaxed a grand march down the field with a tally and Churchman had done the same after intercepting a pass. Rohlcdcr made good on both tries for goal, leaving his team looking down from a 24-6 lead. By this time Coach Godfrey had practically a new team on the field, all his reserves being given a chance. Otterbein saw their advantage and gradually worked the ball down the field. McCarroll going over for the touchdown in the last few minutes of play. Anderson kicked goal. Luther Smith, at center for the winners, played the game of his career, his sensational tackling once cutting off an Otterbein score when it would have put them in the lead. Tompkins. Glattke, and Criss shown on the defence while Eaton and Churchman in the backfield formed a stellar line smashing combina- tion. George Rohleder’s educated toe was not to be overlooked. His 49 yard place kick is probably a Conference record. WITTENBERG 28 MT. UNION 6 Wittenberg reached to .750 per cent mark in the Conference standing by smashing the Mt. Union eleven on November 17th. Varsity's first score came late in the first quarter. Churchman carrying the oval across after a steady march from the middle of the field had put it within striking distance. Eaton followed suit in the next quarter, bucking over from the nine yard line. Rohleder booted both extra points as a matter of course. Mt. Union chose to kick after Eaton’s tally. At this time Bcichly pulled the feature play of the season, receiving the ball from Mackey’s toe on his own two yard line he carried it through the entire Mt. Union team for a touchdown. The interference afforded him by his teammates was perfect. The 98 yard run will long be without an equal on the new field. Page One Hundred Seventy-two Ohe WfTTENBFR.GF.R. Uj-2-fo. F tlon plows lltrout'h Late in the final stanza Mt. Union started a rally by way of the forward pass route which netted them a six-pointer. Mackey failed to kick goal. Tompkins and Smith stood out for Wittenberg because of their flashy tackling. The latter also intercepted two forward passes. Kishman. back in the line for the first time since the Wesleyan scrap, gave a good account of himself. Eaton and Churchman demonstrated once more the art of pulverizing an enemy’s line, tearing gaps wide enough to drive a truck through. The fact that Witten- berg made 19 first downs to 3 for her opponents will show the comparative strength of the two lines. Captain Mackey, the marvel quarterback, put up a good brand of ball for the visitors, but failed to run the Wittenberg ends in his usual manner. ‘Bozo’ Kunkle, giant right tackle on Coach I horpe’s eleven, was the most ferocious tackier seen on the local field this season. 1 le invariably was found on the bottom of the pile if the play was near his territory. WITTENBERG 14 MUSKINGUM 0 In the only game played on a foreign field this season Wittenberg defeated Muskingum by a 14-0 score, on November 23. 1 he overworked expression a sea of mud” utterly fails to describe the gridiron at New Concord. I he whole field was one mass of slippery, sticky red clay, seemingly bottomless. Straight football was the order of the day for both teams til near the end of the game when Muskingum was forced to resort to the forward pass in a vain attempt to retrieve their fortune. Wittenberg started eff with a rush and hustled the ball down to their opponents’ 8 yard line where it was lost on a fumble. A few moments later when Beichly caught Barton’s punt in the middle of the field the Cardinal and Cream machine once more started their march toward the goal. This time C hurchman carried the ball through center for the first touchdown. In spite of the mud Rohlcder kicked goal. Both teams then settled down to a kicking game. Muskingum having the better of it. but neither side making any substantial gain. After the rest between halves Coach Lange’s men came on the field with renewed fight, carrying the ball by line rushes to the Wittenberg 1 1 yard mark, where it was lost on a fumble. Raton punted out of danger. Captain Ness and his men braced and the Presbyterians tried their hand at passing. Two heaves netted 25 yards and the ball rested on the Wittenberg 30 mark. Another pass, two line bucks failed and Barton punted. Beichly was downed with the ball on one yard line. On the next play the plucky quarterback did the unexpected. Lining up his men in punt formation he called for the ball and tore out around the right end for 20 yards, starting ten yards behind his own goal. This was the Page One Hundred Seventy-three %e WITTENBERGER. -TnT7 start of another parade down the field which only ended when Churchman crashed over for another touchdown. Rohleder once more kicked goal. Although Churchman scored both touchdowns the line plunging work of Raton and the running, and sliding, of Beichly were no less important. The work of the whole line was above reproach with Kishman playing the game of his career. An unofficial count shows that fully fifty fumbles were made during the game, six of them coming on one play. WITTENBERG 31 OHIO NORTHERN 0 I he final game of the season went to Wittenberg on Thanksgiving Day. when Ohio Northern fell 31-0. This contest, played in a pouring rain, demon- strated two things, the water shedding ability of the new field, and the complete superiority of the Lutheran eleven. Excepting the last quarter when substutites were carrying on the battle, the Northern team was completely outplayed. Beichly passed to Criss for the first tally soon after the game started, Big George booting the extra point. Churchman scored next, after a series of end runs by the flashy Beichly had put the pill within striking distance. This time Rohleder missed the kick, his first failure in a Conference game this year. A third marker, with Eaton toting the ball, was pushed over before the whistle ended the half. Soon after the rest period was over Beichly crossed the last white line, going through tackle after faking an end run. Then Northern started things in earnest. Employing the famous Sing Sing shift made famous by Centre college they started right down the field. Only the heavy footing prevented a touchdown as the Fighting Lutherans were taken unaware by the strange formation. Two fumbles at critical moments also contributed to stop the up-state squad. On the last of these Wittenberg made a long punt which was fumbled, placing the Lutherans within striking distance once more. Eaton carried the ball over for the last touchdown of the season. Rohleder twinkled on the defense for the Cardinal and C ream while the whole line was for the most part impregnable to all attacks. In the backfield Church- man. Eaton, and Beichly were the luminaries, while Captain Ness did his share, especially at opening up holes in the enemy’s forward wall. Kirchner, Haley and Lynch stood out for Northern. Seven men donned the Wittenberg uniforms for the last time in this fray. They were: Captain Ness. Paul Batdorf. John Tompkins, Richard Criss, Luther Smith. Edwin Borman, and Arthur Glattke. All will graduate next year with the exception of Glattke, who leaves us to enter Ohio State. Page One Hundred Seventy-four Page One Hundred Seventy-five Page One Hundred Seventy-six %e WITTENBEEGER.

In the back field Armstrong at quarter. Grcgorious at full and Lehman. Burdette and Miller at the halves form a line plunging, end-running combination that would be hard to beat. Throughout the entire season they skirted the varsity ends almost at will, a thing which no C onference opponent was able to do. Then there was the line. Lawrence, a husky six-footer, played a stellar game at center. Swingle. Jacobs, and Ehlers were first-class guards, any one of whom would make a varsity man step to hold his place. Laybourne. Sullivan, Kunde and Barnes are a quartet of hard fighting tackles, as many a backfield man on the varsity will testify. Johnson and Stolwitz held down the end posi- tions to perfection. In a post-season contest with the second string varsity men the freshmen had little trouble in winning by a 19-9 score, in spite of the fact that Coaches Godfrey and I rautwein played with the older lads. I he affair was staged as a benefit to provide money to purchase sweaters for the freshmen. So when the call for practice sounds next September there is going to be a group of husky gridders wearing the C ardinal and C ream for the first time in their lives. Men who will furnish the necessary material to plug the holes left in the varsity squad by graduation. And the old men who are back are going to have a fight to retain their positions. Hr. 1923 Freshman football team was doubtless the best balanced in the history of the school. Possibly there have appeared at the Lutheran school a few individual players who have shown to better advantage than any single member of this season’s outfit, but there never has been such an all-round group of athletes on the yearling squad.

Gerald Mong Senior NON CONFERENCE GAMES HE fact that Coach Godfrey would have a difficult job to fill the posi- tions on the team left vacant by graduation was clearly brought out in the pre-conference schedule. On December 15th Ohio State tramped over the varsity crew for a 52-26 victory and a few days later the Wit- tenberg Alumni won 38-16 from their “younger brothers.” The closing game of the season was the contest with Notre Dame in this city on March 6th. The South Bend basketeers walked away with a 39-16 victory after being held to an 11-7 count during the first half. The “Fighting Irish” were voted the best ever seen in action on the local floor. MUSKINGUM 23 WITTENBERG 22 The Varsity tossers lost their first conference start at New Concord to the Muskingum College five, by a count of 23-22. The first half ended in a tic at the I 1 mark but in the final stanza Montgomery. lanky guard broke loose and tossed in 3 baskets and 2 fouls to put his team out ahead. Inability to cage foul shots was another factor in the defeat. 9 out of 17 tries going wild. Cornwell, center, suffered a fractured skull in practice a few days before the game, making a last minute shift of the lineup necessary. Mong proved to be high scorer for the contest with 5 counters. Criss and Eaton also counted. OHIO WESLEYAN 41 WITTENBERG 23 When the Delaware team invaded the Lutheran camp for their only contest of the season it was with the avowed intention of avenging certain defeats of the not far distant past. The score shows that they were entirely successful. At the half-way mark the Methodists led 17-15 but opened up an attack in the second half that snowed under Captain Criss and his cohorts. Mong. Criss. and Tompkins did the scoring for the Cardinal and Cream while Shea and W. Turney stood out for Coach Gauthier’s team. Page One Hundred F.ighty-two Ohe WITTENBEE.GER. John Tompkins Senior JOHN TOMPKINS “Red” was noted for his fighting qualities. Played any position on the floor and player! it well. When it came to digging out the hall he was at his best.

Played at guard or center and could toss in some pretty shots at the right time. Called home in mid-season by illness in the family, he did not have a chance to develop into best form. Will be back next year fighting for his old position. Franc� Eaton Junior MIAMI 26 WITTENBERG 22 The jinx that had followed Wittenberg away from home in every game of the season persisted at Oxford, where the Miami team staged a last minute rally which netted them 8 points and the game. The score was tied several times during the contest but finally the Godfrey men pulled away to a four-point lead. Their triumph was short lived, however, for Hannaford. Hopkins, and Shaffer put the game away with some pretty shots. The former made I I points during the evening. Mong. Tompkins, and Lyman starred for the Lutherans. OHIO UNIVERSITY 30 WITTENBERG 20 Then the team was off to Athens to dedicate the new gymnasium of the Ohio University quintet. For the first few minutes Wittenberg was away to a flying start only to be headed off before the half closed. Between the periods Coach Godfrey directed his team just how to stop the Ohio offensive. But finding themselves balked the Green and White shifted their style and again took the lead. Tompkins had the honor of scoring the first field goal in the dedication game. Captain O’Daffer led the scorers with 13 points. Criss. Corn- well. and Lyman were all good on defense. MT. UNION 26 WITTENBERG 16 Coach “Ray Detrick brought his Mt. Union basketeers to the Memorial Hall court to contend with his former instructor. Playing with utter confidence the Methodists took the lead early and were never headed. I he second half Wittenberg was able to pile up a few more counters than their opponents but not enough to make it dangerous for them. The work of Captain Criss both on the floor and in shooting was above reproach. Barr and C ornwell also showed well, while Glattke. appearing in uniform for the first time this year, was a rock on defense and contributed 2 baskets as well. Page One Hundred Eighty-three Ohe W1TTENBER.GF.R. jTTTfN Arthur Glattke Junior ARTI IUR GLATTKE This junior reported to the team when only five games were left to be played.

FLOYD LYMAN On account of his height this Sophomore was a valuable asset at the center position. Was a little slow in developing at the beginning of the season but didn’t let that bother him. Stood out on the defense but could also roll in the long shots. Made his letter. Flovd Lyman Sophomore OHIO NORTHERN 26 WITTENBERG 23 Another game went to the opposition in the last two minutes when Ohio Northern was met at Ada. It was a neck and neck affair from start to finish with Wittenberg leading throughout the most of the final period. But Lynch and Smith made pretty heaves in the last seconds of the play which gave them the victory. Captain Criss again led in scoring and his floor work was of the stellar kind. Mong and Barr were also there when it came to caging the ball while Glattke. Lyman, and Cornwell worked nicely on defense. WITTENBERG 37 OTTERBEIN 23 The varsity had little trouble in handing Otterbein its ninth consecutive de- feat on the local court on February 29th. The game was slow and devoid of thrills, each team making many blunders. Wittenberg piled up a lead of 17-9 in the initial frame and held it secure for the rest of the contest. Mongs ability to hit the basket was the one bright spot of the game, the diminutive forward caging the ball 6 times. Barr. Lyman. C riss, and Cornwell also aided in the scoring while Glattke made his presence felt at guard. WITTENBERG 24 KENYON 13 Then came the curtain-lowering game. Kenyon, the humblers of Baldwin- Wallace. furnished the opposition but failed to worry the Lutherans, who downed them in a fast and brilliant exhibition of the cage sport. C riss and Mong played their last conference game for Wittenberg, the former starring in shooting and the latter in the floor department. Cornwell and Lyman also broke into the score column at opportune moments. Corey, center for the visitors, played a fine game, as did Stanfield.

Mac Barr Sophomore CINCINNATI 35 WITTENBERG 21 Cincinnati also had some old accounts to settle with “King” Godfrey and his men. which they proceeded to do in a most thorough manner. Only the stellar work of Criss and Eaton at guard prevented the score from being much greater. Hoy. the Bearcat flash, dropped in 8 fielders during the game in spite of the combined efforts of the Wittenberg team. Never the less the game was fast from start to finish, the Lutherans displaying “that old fight” in a creditable manner but being unable to get started on the scoring end. After the contest varsity fans declared that the team was due to break its losing streak in the next contest. WITTENBERG 32 MUSKINGUM 28 Predictions of a victory were fulfilled when the Muskingum crew appeared at Memorial Hall for a return engagement. Lyman, a newcomer at the center job. dropped in 4 fielders, tieing Cornwell, who was back in uniform for the first time since his accident. The Godfrey men had things all their own way until the last five minutes when the New Concord team spurted and tied the score. In the necessary overtime the Cardinal and Cream got a flying start and put the game on ice. It was the closest contest to date this season. WITTENBERG 30 MIAMI 18 Miami furnished the next attraction on the local floor and when the final gun cracked Wittenberg had increased her conference standing to .400 per cent. Criss and Mong. “the old war horses.” carried off the scoring honors of the evening while Hopkins of the Oxford team led his mates in points counted. The contest was a fight from start to finish. Tompkins standing out for his fast floor work. It was only the superior team work of the Godfrey coached squad coupled with an apparent “off night” for the down-staters that made such a difference in the scores. Page One Hundred F.i«lity-five Jack Barr Sophomore JACK BARR The light-haired guard looked almost too small to be a varsity player but when he went into the game the crowd forgot his size in their admiration. ‘‘Jack’’ will also have two years with the varsity crew. RUSSELL BEICHLY In the few games he was with us Bike” showed signs of developing into a great basket- ball star as well as a football adept. We were sorry to lose him and hope that he will again join the Cardinal and Cream squad. Russell Beichly Sophomore WOOSTER 32 WITTENBERG 30 When the W'ittenberg squad took the road again it was the intention of con- tinuing their winning streak, but the first snag they struck was Wooster. Things started well for the Cardinal and Cream, the half-way mark finding them looking down from a 20-14 lead. In the second half Wooster gradually closed the gap until with five minutes to play they were just six points behind. Then Pfeiffer sunk 4 long ones through the leathers and won the game. Incidentally he carried off the high score of the evening, making 19 points in all. CINCINNATI 27 WITTENBERG 19 When the down-staters were taken on in the Ohio River city Wittenberg was unable to get started in the first half, the Cincinnati team piling up a 23-1 3 lead in that frame. After a session with the coach between halves, however, they came back strong and outpointed their opponents in the final stanza. Mong. Cornwell, and Tompkins scored most of the points for the Lutherans, while Valentine was high man of the game. Captain Criss at guard drew the commendation of the audience for his stellar work. But 10 fouls were called during the game, five on each team. ST. XAVIER 38 WITTENBERG 37 This game, played at home, was the prize thriller of the season. St. Xavier soon piled up a start of 10-0 and led at the half 19-13. With the opening of the final period Mong and Cornwell led in a shooting rally that soon resulted in a tie score. From then on it was nip and tuck, first one side leading, then the other. But the gun sounded when the visiting squad was one point ahead. Weiskittle at center for the St. Xavier quintet rolled in 8 fielders for his team. Every member of the Lutheran team was able to score. Page One Hundred Kighty-six Ohe W [ T T F. T R F. R.GF. R.

Wittenberg should have a championship team next year. are the words heard on every side. The reason for the optimism on the part of the Lutheran supporters is the size and quality of the present Freshman squad which is composed of nine of the best first-year ball tossers who ever came to the local school.

Coach VflTH but two days of practice to put them in shape for the opening game, the Wittenberg nine went down to defeat before the Antioch team, at Yellow Springs, on April 12th. Hick- man started on the mound. In the four innings he was in the box he struck out four men. issued no walks and allowed but a single hit. In order to get a line on his pitching staff Coach Miller sent Becker. Rohleder. and Young into the mound in the last five frames. They failed to show the brand of wares exhibited by Hickman, and the Antioch crew pushed across enough runs to win. On April 18th the at-home season was opened with a 26-10 victory over Cedarville. Heltzel, sophomore, pitching his first college game, held the invaders scoreless for the first three innings, fanning seven of the nine men who faced him. Barr. Becker, and Hickman finished the game. Farmer entered the hall of fame in this contest by poling out first the home run of the season, scoring Criss and Hickman ahead of him. Varsity met Antioch for the second time on April 23th. Once more the dice of the gods were loaded, and the Prugh men went home on the long end of an 8-5 score. Hickman allowed the visitors only five hits, but his teammates piled up seven errors and lost the game for him. The Antioch pitchers were touched for six hits, three of which went to Mong and two to Warnke. Determined that they would take one game from their southern neighbors. Wittenberg again crossed bats with Antioch on April 28th. But the Black and Gold aggregation refused to be beaten, winning this time 13-7. terrors, seven of them, combined with fifteen hits, proved the undoing of Varsity. Capt. Heberling was called away, so Farmer was brought in from the outfield to do the receiving. On May 2d. the Cardinal and Cream war- riors traveled to Cedarville and came back with a fresh scalp. The final score was 21-3 in spite of the fact that the game only lasted seven innings. Young and Hickman did the hurling, between them allowing five safe bingles. Farmer led the team in the batting department with five hits to his credit including a double and a triple. The feature of the game, however, was the work of the infield, which up to this time had been considered the weak spot in the team. Then came the opening of the Ohio Confer- ence season with Otterbein on May 4th. After a hard struggle the Westerville lads pulled ahead and won. 9-7. Up until the sixth inning Witten- bergplayed airtight ball behind Hickman s pitch- ing and piled up a lead of 7-2. In that frame Otterbein braced, crossing the plate four times. In the next inning H. Anderson drove out a homer, pushing across two men ahead of him. Page One Hundred Eighty-nine Thomas I layward.

Wittenberg defeated Coach Ewing’s team on May 18th. The final score was 11-3. Hickman went the entire route for Varsity, being touched for four hits. His teammates were back of him and not a single error was made by a Wittenberg man. Rice, on the mound for Miami, had a bad inning in the fifth, letting six runs across. Sports writers throughout the state claimed this to be the biggest upset of the dope during the season. The victory placed Wittenberg on the 50-50 mark in conference standing. The day following the Miami contest the team went to Cincinnati where the strong U. C. nine was engaged. Coach Miller chose Young to do the hurling. The game was hard fought from the beginning and the ninth inning found the score a 1-1 tic. In the first half of this frame Wittenberg failed to score. Cincin- nati came back strong, and with two on bases Prathers, star shortstop of the Bearcats, cracked out a homer. Young pitched good ball, allowing but six hits. His support was perfect and for the second time in two days not an error was chalked up against the Cardinal and Cream. The season closed the following Monday and Tuesday with two games againsr Ohio Northern at Ada. Tired out from the Miami and the Cincinnati contests. Wittenberg dropped the first of the scries 7-5 and the second 1 1-2. From the standpoint of games won and lost the season was far from a success. Still, to those who were able to compete it was a real pleasure. Three games stand out from the rest as an example of what could be done. These are the Otterbcin contest, the brilliant victory over Miami, and the hard fought struggle with Cincinnati. HUMMON - HICKMAN Page One Hundred Ninety %e WITTENBERGER, , ?4 , Intramurals A. T. O.

Antioch college was the first to triumph over the Lutherans, winning 30-13. Captain Hackenberg and Florence Yackey proved to be the stars of the game, the former in floor work and the latter in goal throwing. Cedarvillc college was the last team played, winning two games from the Lutherans.

MASONIC CLUB Allen Tr, . 0 a M Anlown Page Two Hundred Thirty-eight The Spanish Club President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer HARRY MORAN MILDRED BAVER DOROTHEA HACKENBERG LOREN COPPOCK HREE years ago a group of students conceived the idea that it would be beneficial to those interested in the Spanish language to form a club. Accordingly, the Spanish Club was organized with the function of studying the language and customs of Spain. Students must obtain a certain grade in the study before becoming eligible for membership, and must also have to their credit one semester of Spanish in college. Outside speakers are generally on the program, thus giving to the members ideas and thoughts on the customs of the Spanish-speaking countries. Many of these speakers have travelled in Spain. Porto Rico and South America. The meetings are conducted in Spanish and the discussions in the foreign language render great help in giving one an understanding of it. Spanish plays are sometimes given, and in the future, the club hopes to enact a play before the college. The tremendous success that has made the Spanish Club what it is. will, undoubtedly, increase and the club will have no trouble in keeping pace with the leading organizations of the college.

Club President Secretary Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms RANSOM KOONTZ MARGARET OSBORNE JOSEPH DANDO HENRY YODER HE Greek Club was organized by students of the Greek department in November. 1922, with the purpose of arousing a greater interest in the study of Greek and bringing about a fuller realization of the debt of modern civilization to that of ancient Greece. The club meets on the second Wednesday evening of each month in Philo Hall. Different phases of ancient Greek life and culture arc brought before the club in papers, and general discussions arc carried on. The club has been very for- tunate in having the opportunity to vary its program by the presentation of stcrcopticon lectures on Greek art and architecture by Professor Hiller. Professor and Mrs. Hiller arc the only honorary members of the club. Page Two Hundred Forty X WITTENBEE.GER. T TTn Hiding Club President - - - MARY STUART OR several years. Wittenberg girls bad felt the need of an out-of-door recreation organization, but this need was not supplied until last fall. Then, with the help of Dean Webb, the girls realized their ambition and steps were taken toward the organization of the Hiking Club. The members believed that only one officer was necessary to plan and direct hikes, and so it was decided to make the one office that of Presi- dent. At the first meeting, held the first week in October. 1922. Annabelle Bohl- ender was elected President to serve during year 1922-1923. She took up her duties with much enthusiasm, and made a most capable leader for the first year of the club. It was agreed that members walking two hundred miles be- tween October first and April first should be awarded their class numeral in recognition of their accomplishment. From a membership of between fifty and sixty, sixteen girls received their Hiking Letters. The second year of the organization began auspiciously with the return of many of the former members and the addition of many new ones from the Freshman Class, so that the membership was increased to seventy. New and interesting hikes were taken as soon as school started, and much interest was shown in this form of exercise. I he annual meeting for the election of President w'as held in October, and Mary Stuart was elected head of the organization for 1923-1924. This year the Seniors have been promised W’s and. as the members of the other classes are to be recognized in the same way. the Freshmen alone w'ill receive their class numerals.

WILLIAM HEINS ti.t'ITH the increase in number of courses offered in the departments of AlXt) History and Political Science. Sociology. Economics, and Journalism. I Te? I and a corresponding increase in the number of students registering for these courses, a need on the part of both the members of the faculty and i the students, was felt for an organization where problems of the social sciences might be discussed, opinions given, and views clarified. As a result the Agora C lub was formed. The Greek name denotes a market place. As the Greeks always discussed questions pertaining to the common interest, and gave all sorts of opinions there, it was felt that because of the similar aim of the club this name should be the official one. The organization is not rigid: any student so desiring may become a member whether he is enrolled in any of the social science departments or not. The members of these departments are, ex officio, members of the club. This year the interest has centered around the problems arising out of the World War. and their relation to our own national affairs. Faculty members, especially those of the Department of History and Political Science, have gra- ciously given of their time and energy, and the members have felt a special debt of gratitude for the kindly interest they have shown.

The club that hit the campus this year with a bang is the newly formed Commerce Club, and this organization has been making the most noise throughout the year. To Professors Charles M. Anderson and Christian Van Riper goes the credit for the organization and the _______J ever dominating enthusiasm of the Commerce Club. In the first place the organization of the club is in itself unique. Each mem- ber of the club receives 1000 shares of stock upon admission to membership. Each absence causes the loss of 100 shares of said stock. I his method cuts the voting power of the uninterested and negligent absentee. The members of the club according to their power as stockholders, elect the Board of Directors. This body, in turn, elects the officers. It has been the aim of the Commerce Club to have a prominent and successful business man talk to the club at each meeting and present the side of the business world that the student docs not get in books. Musical numbers have also been given at these meetings by talent in the club. Bankers, ministers, lawyers, managers, purchasing agents, insurance agents, and accountants have been the guests of the club. Students of the business administration and economic departments of the college are looking forward to the day when there will be a strong commerce fraternity at Wittenberg and the Commerce Club is the organization through which they are working. Professor Anderson is a member of the well-known commerce fraternity. Alpha Kappa Psi. and the club will no doubt petition this society, aided by Professor Anderson. I he officers listed above are the first to hold office in the club. The Commerce Club President....................WILLIAM SIMON Vice-President...............D.

The Illinois Club President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sergeant-at-Arms EDWIN BOWERS MARY BRANKAMP LYLE FRANKS EUGENE SWARTZ LLINOISANS are proud of their state at all times but are more so when stranded in a strange territory. This fact led to the organization of an Illinois Club two years ago. for the purpose of furthering the loyalty and promoting the interests of Wittenberg College in the state that offered Lincoln to the nation. Nine names were on the first roll but the 1923-4 college year finds twenty-one members or more than double the number last year. Monthly meetings are held throughout the year and following the Christmas vacation a banquet was held at the Bancroft Hotel. This banquet was the best get-together that the club has had since its organization. Songs, stories and speeches brought back to each member memories of the happy days in the old state of the “Fighting Illini.” A club’s future depends upon the nucleus and backbone of the organization and with such an auspicious beginning, the Illinois club feels that there are many fine things in store for it.

To this end the club endeavors to further the college s interests throughout the state by sending to pros- pective students literature relative to Wittenberg, and by advertising in various periodicals of the state and in the Lutheran churches. The members of the Board of Directors of the college from Michigan are co-operating with the club in broadcasting the opportunities offered by the school and the work it is accom- plishing. Many of the professors now teaching in Wittenberg are graduates of the University of Michigan and carry to their Alma Mater the message of Wit- tenberg College. Socially, the club ranks among the most active of the state clubs. At the various business meetings the members have the opportunities of discussing home relations and home conditions as compared to those of a sister state. Friendly relations are created among the students of the college which are carried to their respective homes to serve as a greater bond of friendship in later years. The future of the club is unlimited. The first year has been very successful and will serve as a stepping stone to greater things in the future. Page Two Hundred Forty-five Ohe WITTEKBERGER. The 0.

ND it did come to pass that in the year of our Lord 1924 that a great clamor arose from the multitude attending the college of Wittenberg. So exceedingly great was the cry which arose thence, and so long contin- ued was it. that the faculty took heed thereunto. And so it came to pass the great cry did much good in the college of land, and because of it “The College of Sophistication” was made Now the reason for the great uproar was this: the ordinary curriculum gave them not a chance to express themselves. And so it was that those desiring to take their places as the most blase in elevated society made sudden outburst among them. Already they have caused to appear several glorious buildings at that place. All contain that necessity of life, a soda fountain, and on the ground floor one findeth the hall for dancing. Each classroom also containeth folding beds for the occupants thereof! The enrollment increaseth steadily. Admission—To be admitted to the College of Sophistication it is necessary that the candidates pass the unintelligent exams and own a machine (Fords and sewing not included). Degrees— S. B. (For males) Sophisticated Bachelor. L. L. (For females) Ladies of Leisure. Requirements for a Degree— It will be necessary for the student to spend at least six hours a week in class to graduate in eight years. Overeagerness to graduate is unsophisti- cated and will be dealt with accordingly. The requirements arc— 1. Late to all classes. 2. Cut half of them and appear indifferent to the rest. 3. Break at least two dates for formats. 4. Flunking from several less important colleges. 5. Wear your hat at a precarious angle (if male) perched on your nose. If female always carry Fatimas. 6. Must have been engaged at least three times. Fees—You may need several bank accounts but don’t bother about such commonplace things yet. Refunds—If course is not satisfactory after six weeks trial all money will be refunded.

And. strange as it may seem to you. my college bred brethren and sistern. learned in the mysteries of science and philosophy, the wind did not seem in any degree to have abated, although all the windows and doors were closed. All those in favor of subjecting this to a referendum on the whys and wherefores, please say aye. This fine-looking specimen of manhood seems in his poor deluded fashion to believe that sideburns are the latest in men's fashions. O that Fate might grant that he know the worst — they disappeared three long years ago. Alas and alack! could he but know! But perhaps they serve as penwipers! 1 lad we poor mortals not been taught that no human being could be perfect, we might be tempted to consider him sans sideburns, the one and only perfect one in captivity. I lis perfect self-control, his all-consuming conceit, his patience and self- sacrificing. have all conspired to make him such. What a conspiracy! And his only fault he dropped the final e” rrom his name. What have we here? What have we here? Professor Anderson. Professor Anderson, the famous cowboy humorist, captured in the wilds of Okla- homa and brought to this college at an enormous expense. In his native haunts the professor roams about ever seeking the elusive bull, which when he finds he seizes by the tail and whirls around his head thrice. Then with a mightv effort, he sends the bull hurtling through space. Thus the professor has gained great renown as an athlete Mexicana. Note the cigar which the professor smokes. It is a twenty-five center. Presently he will throw it away, as he expects to find a better one a little farther down the road. I le is soon to enter a six day bicycle race and must get in training. I lis skill in handling the iron steed is second only to his ability in hurling the male cow. As a humorist the professor stands without a peer! It is no uncommon occurrence to see an un- conscious student removed from his classes after a paroxysm of mirth induced by one of the professor's merry quips. For such is the potency of these jests of Oklahoma. And in the next cage — Presenting for your approval Doctor Linn. Professor of obnoxious odors. No. gentle reader, he is no relation to the Smith Brothers. Why does the doctor wear the whiskers? Because he wishes to keep his chest warm. Rumor hath it that he has been offered fabulous sums to pose for Danderine ads but this has never been verified. When ap- proached on the subject the doctor blushed furi- ously and said, “Yes. I am highly in favor of the Bok Peace Plan.” By some of those most intimately connected with the doctor it has been suggested that he is savin? the foliage for a mattress. Others say that this is not the true interpretation, but that the doctor is acting as a model for a new artistic mas- terpiece to be entitled Twenty Years Without a Shave.” For the best essay on the subject we offer a prize of three slightly used Gillette blades.

The Tigers were to meet the Giants in mortal combat. Long before the game the Stadium was packed with a mad. milling mob. eager for blood. Down in front the cheer leaders goaded the crowd into a frenzy. Their thundering cheers, sweeping in avalanches across the field, seemed to shake the structure to its very foundations. First the Tigers would hurl their defiance: “Our peerless representatives! Our glorious defenders! Strive! Endeavor! Emerge victorious! But before the echoes died away the Giants flung back their challenge in their teeth: Neva doma ne spatch! Wenn wir zu bett gehen Nous sommes tres fatigue Si! Si! Scnor! Suddenly the fans lost all reason—the teams were trotting out bn the field. I was truly a sight to stir the blood of the sportsman, the gay colors—the boom- ing bands—the savage crowd—and down there on the green twenty-two good men, tried and true. Then it was that many a heart did flittcr-fluttcr with many a flit and flut. Ah! the glory of strife! The Giants won the toss and chose to be East Wind, also melding a double pinochle for a total of two hundred points. Away to a good start it looked as if they would surely capture the gonfalon. But on attempting a pass, their captain threw a seven and the bones went to the Tigers on their own twenty yard line. Now if ever was the time to do! Goof, the huge tackle, was called back, and the ball was served. It went low. however, and into the net. forcing Goof to use his mashie. Entirely equal to the situation, he met the ball squarely on the nose for a three-bagger, but because he carelessly knocked down the hurdle in the third flight, he was allowed but one hundred and fifty markers. Growing wary the Giants now went into conference and decided to call for a new deck. I his was provided and the Tigers, to prove that the deal meant nothing to them, drew four red seasons. Oh. hell! said the coach who up to that time had taken no part in the conversation (which remark showed deep meditation on his part). On the next play the Tigers attempted to send their lanky center through but he was disqualified on the grounds that if he fell down he would be half way there. Merely to show his disgust at the decision and through no personal animosity, the center knocked three of the referee’s teeth down his throat. Immediately a great roar was heard from the stands the mutterings of a half-wild mob and in a great, surging wave they swept out on the field — 17o be continued if ever] Page Two Hundred Sixty-two Page Two Hundred Sixty-three Ohe WITTENBERGER, PI ALPHA EPSILON No. Gwendolyn, this is not an hermit- age.

Each subject to him did kowtow Or he was straightway chained. Throughout the land could not be found A man of any birth Who would not kneel upon the ground And bow him to the earth. Until at last from far-off lands There came a swarthy youth With muscles like great iron bands And manner rude, uncouth. He would not bow before the king. He swore by great Kwee Tee Not if the peacocks ceased to sing Or the East Wind ceased to be! And when Pung Chow did hear of this Did his face with anger flush; His breath came short and with a hiss. He vowed the knave to crush. In chains of iron the youth he cast And had him weighted down. And to a pillory made fast For all to see and frown. But through the town there came a roar That turned all there aghast. Each hurried home to lock his door And thought that day his last. For from the kingdom of Mah Jongg Three fiery dragons came Each carried in his nose a gong And each one belched flame! And when the youth did hear this sound He rent his chains asunder. And flung them down upon the ground With crashing sound of thunder. Then straight he sought the dragons out As through the town they went. And grabbing each one by the snout He each one double bent. Oh. the youth was dined and lightly wined. For he had done no wrong. He freed the land from an iron hand And the Dragons of Mah Jongg Page Two Hundred Sixty-six OA, WITTEN'BERGER.

Patronize Our Advertisers Six business men were in the habit of playing poker at various times during the year, and at the end of each year would total up their losses and winnings. They generally found out that their resources were about 50-50. One day a man from New York was invited to join the game. He accepted and after a few hours of playing, much to their surprise, they woke up to the fact that he had cleaned'' them all very thoroughly. The man returned to New York, and when at the end of the year the six players totaled up their finances, their books did not show a 50-50 split, but a 10 per cent loss. The man from New York did not care how their accounts balanced—their money was in New York and lost to local advantage. Yet Such cases are continually coming to the point in student life and local bus- iness men bank on the students of Wittenberg College to patronize them in their efforts to bring the latest styles and best quality of goods to Springfield. Yet— Some students fail to recognize the seriousness of their responsibility and go to neighboring towns and purchase from traveling salesmen, who have no interest at all in the college, to buy their necessities of life. Let us think a moment— students—who backs old Wittenberg to the last ditch in everything she under- takes? There is only one answer to it—the merchants of Springfield; therefore, back those who back you and Patronize in Springfield.

In the Year In the early days of King Tulloss many people gathered from all quarters to make merry on the college green and to celebrate the coming of the new king. The maidens danced and the orchestra played and there was indeed a great procession when the May Queen was led to the throne to be crowned. But the clouds gathered and the people grew afraid lest it might rain and spoil their pretty party clothes. Then there arose a mighty man the Dean who stood right out in front of the vast gathering and announced in a loud voice: “It will not rain. It will not rain.” And the people believed him and said: “He knows. Is he not a Dean?” But soon it grew dark and the wind blew and the heavens opened their gates and it rained as it had never rained before, and the people were unable to get to their homes before they were soaked to their very skins. Then the people murmured in their hearts against the mighty Prophet and his coun- sellor Harperus, who had helped him figure out that it would not rain. But the Dry Cleaners were glad for they waxed fat and grew rich. The people in another year gathered again to do honor to the great King Tulloss. This time, the mighty Dean and his wise counsellor put their heads together and said: “We declared that it would not rain and it did rain. This time we must be sure that it will rain.” Then they consulted their charts and their glass tubes and became convinced that it would rain. At any rate they would see to it that it did rain. So the Dean ordered a great tent to be put up on the campus and saw to it that the people went therein because he was sure that it would rain and that the people would be convinced of his knowledge of the skies and the clouds. But the sun came out and shone through all those days and it grew hotter than blazes and not one single drop of rain did fall Then the people and the faculty lost faith in the Rain Makers and there was much grief in the heart of the guardian of the Treasury, Old Benny, because the tent had cost much monies, and because there was no use for it at all. and because he and the King and the wise Faculty had been deceived by the two readers of the charts and glass pipes. Then there was great sorrow in the hearts of the Dry Cleaners and many of them waxed lean and poor and indeed some of them did die in the Poor House.' MR. AND MRS..........................

Thus, do not think that you will be mistaken for an eccentric poet if you appear correctly attired in every way. with the exception of being mnius your trousers. People will merely imagine that you are impersonating Harry Lauder. Obviously, if the sorority is a blind institution, the matter of clothes may be utterly disregarded. Before you enter the house, make up your mind to appear nonchalant through- out the evening. A good way to rob your face of all power of expression is to use Fels Naphtha soap. Now just try to smile. Next, practise hand-shaking. You will have to know how to shake hands with two types—chaperons and sororiety girls. Your roommate is captain of the football team. Practise with him and attempt to appear as delighted as pos- sible when he attempts to mutilate your hand. This will put you hep as to the proper way to register when the house-mother gains possession of your paw. To get used to shaking hands with your date and her sisters, tie your washrag to the doorknob, and grasp it gently ten times, being careful not to wrinklke it. Now you are prepared to enter the House of Many Adventures. If the date is arranged for eight o’clock, you should arrive as the chimes toll eleven-thirty. Then by clean living and a rugged constitution, you may be able to hold out until the said date puts in an appearance. While you wait, you will be scrutinized very closely by the females who are supposed to keep you in the house. One pleasant way of spending your time is to play horseshoes with the house-mother; that is. of course, providing they keep horses. You might ask anyone around a few leading questions, such as: Have you any popular girls in this organization, and. if so. how many and why? or. Do they specialize in activities or are they good-looking, etc. As soon as your line of small talk runs out. you should say: ‘Gee. but I like to play pranks.” If you are seated near the doorway, you will stick your foot out and trip the next person who enters the room, and send her sprawling. This is one way of getting everybody in the house to know you. You will soon have achieved the reputation of being “differential.” After several generations the lady fair herself will trip doen stairs (if you happen to be looking at her), and the date will start. Upon returning, always march straight into the house, no matter what the time, and smoke a cigarette. Gaining admittance after four o’clock in the morning may be achieved by disguising yourself as Dean Webb or else growing side-whiskers so that the house-mother will think that you are Santa Claus. The easiest way to solve the problem is to get Dean Miller’s ideas on the subject as he knows all the schemes that have been tried for the last fifty years.

And the life that I led. well, it wasn’t so gay. I shudder to think of my innocent talk; My pleasures were eating and taking a walk. 1 studied and dug like a dog after bones. I hated the flappers and cakies and drones. Continuing thus. 1 might have gone mad. Until quite by chance. 1 spied out your ad. 1 resolved on the instant to cut a big dash. Away to the mail box I flew like a flash. Just look at me now and see what you think. Of the way that 1 vamp and chatter and slink. I lear how I talk; I’ve a terrible line. Beauty and wit and vogue all combine To make me a person of polish and swank; For me the men perish and rob the state bank. As I think of the pleasures of my education. 1 boost for the College of Sophistication. I am what I am because of your school: Most lovingly yours. MISS LUCY O’TOOLE.
